But more needs to be done -- particularly when it comes to climate change and preparing Westchester for future extreme weather events.

That's why NYLCV is redoubling our efforts in the county and working toward incremental solutions that will help the environment and economy.

NYLCV's Blueprint for a Greener Westchester County offers detailed transportation, energy, natural resources and planning guidance that will help villages, towns, cities and the county government meet their sustainability challenges. NYLCV's recommendations will yield significant environmental benefits while controlling costs, and in many cases will save taxpayer dollars over the long term. The Blueprint encompasses more than 40 specific actions that local elected officials can take to make Westchester green.
